Ke Enshu stared at Ke Meiyu in disbelief, then took a few steps back with a heartbroken expression.
"Cousin, my reputation is already ruined anyway, so I'm not afraid of a few more scandals, as long as it makes you feel better."
"Oh, you mean I wronged you?"
Ke Meiyu chuckled softly, blew on her pink fingernails, and said casually:
"What a coincidence! Comrade Qin was fishing under the bridge that day, so he must have heard the whole thing!"
Why don't we find him and confront him?
Ko Eun-sook clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.
My cousin grew up in a pampered environment, practically having everything done for her. She never had to worry about making a living, and her spoiled and willful nature actually won everyone's affection!
When did my cousin, who never thinks things through, become so eloquent and clear-headed?
She lowered her head slightly, her small body shrank back, and she said softly with a hint of grievance:
"Cousin, why do you have to be so aggressive towards me?"
You, Comrade Qin, and I all know exactly what happened that day!
You can't turn black into white and continue to stubbornly follow Comrade Qin's lead.
With just one sentence, Ke Enshu poured mud onto Ke Meiyu and rendered Comrade Qin's words unbelievable.
"Eighth girl, what do you mean by that?"
Mrs. Ke was displeased and asked angrily, "Speak your mind if you have something to say. Who are you trying to smear with these vague statements?"
My little fish is well-behaved and sensible, she never lies, unlike you, who's so cunning and manipulative, unable to resist men!
Hearing this from outside, Mr. Ke and his five sons stood silently at the entrance of the main room, completely blocking out the sunlight.
They looked ready to roll up their sleeves and start a fight!
The Yu family couldn't help but secretly click their tongues in amazement, and in their hearts, they were more inclined to support Ke Enshu, who had no brothers to back her up and was timid and unwilling to fight.
The old man, who had been silent all along, took a few puffs of his pipe and said in a hoarse voice with a strong warning: "Eighth girl, Yu Bao'er is quiet and rarely goes out except to go to school. There is absolutely no way she could have any connection with Comrade Qin who lives in the cowshed!"
Now that Yu Bao'er has broken her head and almost didn't make it, the marriage has fallen on your shoulders.
Is there anything else you're unhappy about?
Ke Enshu caught a glimpse of the matchmaker's shifty eyes and the figures in the courtyard out of the corner of her eye, and immediately pursed her lips and said, "In the end, it's my cousin who suffered. I will make it up to her properly in the future!"
Ke Meiyu, her bones weak, continued to cling to the old lady, enjoying the protection of her family. She chuckled lazily, "I should make it up to her. I fell pretty hard. I won't be able to do heavy work anymore. It's a matter of lifelong happiness."
The original owner was silently and without a trace when he was smashed away!
Now that she has taken over the original owner's body, she naturally wants to seek justice for her.
"Yes, let's settle the accounts properly after the guests leave!"
The old lady held back for a long time before finally speaking up angrily.
The Yu family's expression was not good. They were honored guests who had come to their home to arrange the engagement of the youngest daughter of the second wife.
Moreover, they are practically relatives of the second wife's family. To disrespect the second wife's family is to disrespect the Yu family!
What's more, their outstanding son was actually disliked and called an old man!
Yu's mother, abandoning her previous coldness, smiled warmly and took Ke Er's aunt's hand:
"I heard that your daughter is hardworking, capable, obedient, filial, and beautiful, so I asked Sister Zhang to act as matchmaker."
Although my son Yuanyuan has been married once and has three children, the children are too young to remember anything, and their birth mother died in childbirth. As long as Comrade Ke Enshu puts in a little effort, it's like getting three sons for free!
Furthermore, if she has children with Yuanyuan in the future, our family will not interfere or urge her.
My son Yuanyuan is good-looking and capable. Many women in the factory are eager to marry him, but as his mother, I love him and no longer care about social status.
As long as the daughter-in-law is efficient, caring, and can take good care of him and the children, that's better than anything else!
With her in-laws giving her face, Aunt Ke smiled and echoed them a few times, straightening her back even more.
Matchmaker Sister Zhang glanced at everyone, beamed, and raised her voice, saying, "The Yu family really values our daughter. They're going to treat her like a city bride, with the 'three turns and one ring' standard. The bride price is 199 yuan. And they've already made arrangements at the textile factory. As soon as Comrade Ke Enshu marries into the family, she can start helping out in the canteen!"
After saying that, Sister Zhang and the Yu family looked at the second branch of the family, waiting for them to say what they had agreed on before.
Rural people love to watch a good show, especially when the Ke family has relatives from the city. Instead of leaving, the people outside the courtyard squeezed in, laughing and joking, some holding pumpkin seeds, others with peanuts in their pockets, listening with great interest.
Public opinion is like a weather vane, shifting from one side to the other!
While everyone looked at the second wife with envy and jealousy, Ke Meiyu finally couldn't help but hug the old lady and smirk.
"Baby, don't scare Grandma!"
The Ke family was extremely worried, thinking she was going crazy from the shock, and they all rushed over to comfort her.
Indeed, it's understandable. A child who has always been pampered by them suddenly has to experience such a cruel reality. Anyone would find it hard to swallow this insult!
Her five biological brothers glared angrily at the second branch of the family and the Yu family, their eyes red with fury. It seemed that if she gave the order, they would beat up anyone they could catch like mad dogs!
"I, I'm fine," Ke Meiyu waved her hand, lifted her head from the old lady's arms, and her pale, almost transparent skin was now tinged with a faint pink. Her eyes sparkled with laughter, like a ray of light that brightened the entire narrow and dim room.
This made everyone feel even more sorry for her, thinking that she was comforting them while swallowing her bitterness herself.
